Stamparatus Blog Hop
Stamparatus Blog Hop and One Wild Ride ….
Welcome to my blog today … I am so excited to be hopping with 19 amazing Stampin’ Up! demonstrators around the world to showcase …
the Stamparatus ™
The Stamparatus is a fabulous new Stamp Placement tool from Stampin’ Up!®. It will be available from 1st June 2018 with the launch of the new Annual Stampin’ Up! catalogue and will totally enhance your stamping experience. Today we are bringing you a whole hop full of techniques, tips and tricks to using this wonderful tool.
One Wild Ride
This is a one layer card and everything has been precision stamped and aligned using the Stamparatus™.
While photopolymer stamps are very easy to position because they are clear, the rubber clear mount or “cling” stamps can be a little bit trickier. Sometimes the index image on the stamp doesn’t line up exactly with the rubber image, or there are many of us who don’t even put the index images on the stamp.
How to line those images up precisely without a lot of trial and error? The solution is to grab yourself a sheet of Polypropylene Plastic from any stationery supplies shop and make yourself a Stamp Imaging sheet cut to a size to suit the Stamparatus. Or use a thick binding cover sheet or even a piece of packaging plastic. Using it is the same principal as the Stamp-A-Ma-Jig, but so much easier. There will be no more getting right to the final stages of your card and stamping your greeting just that little bit crooked.
And for me, the best part of positioning your stamps this way is that you can design on the go. Work out exactly where that image is going to look best before you stamp it. (In my case, this gives me yet another opportunity to procrastinate about making a decision! :))
Video
Here is a video to show you the process.
Or you can watch on You Tube here.
The Stamparatus will be available for purchase on June 1. For a great video series on the Stamparatus, please visit Stampin’ Up! Youtube Channel.

Great tutorial and great card!
Thanks so much Constanze, great to hop with you. xxx
Excellent , Excellent, Excellent , Excellent, Great video. Great tips .
🙂 … so glad you liked it and thanks for the lovely comment! xxx
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this idea!!!
Thank you Ginger and you are most welcome! xx
Cheryl, thanks for so many tips in one place. Not my style card but too away so much I going in my craft room now
Thanks so much
Thanks so much for stopping by, and I am glad you could take away some tips. Have fun creating! 🙂 xxx
Thank you so much for the idea of using the imaging sheet and HOW to use it! I’ve been in the five stages of denial that the SAMJ is going away (I’m still in the disbelief stage – which one is that?!?) and this will help me so much!!! 🙂
Oh I am so glad this will help! It works really well, even better than the Stamp A Ma Jig.Thanks for stopping by! xx
I love your card Cheryll ! It’s nice to see men’s card too !
Thanks Marine, yes I agree, I am always really happy when I break away from my normal flowery creation and do something different! 🙂 Thanks for stopping by. xx
Thankyou for your demonstration Cheryll, awesome as always. Can’t wait to order my Stamparatus! xx
Thanks Sharryn! Yes, you are going to love it sooo much!! 🙂 xx
Love your card. I have been using my stamp a ma jig sheet to do the same thing. Great minds think alike 🙂
Yes, I did use the Stamp A Ma Jig sheet for a while, but the flexibility of the larger sheet is so much better, in that I don’t have to worry about only stamping in that one corner. I must admit, it is a bit addictive!! 😉 Thanks for stopping by Teresa. xxx
Fabulous card, Cheryll. Thanks so much for sharing your brilliant video … my brain couldn’t quite work this technique out, so I am very grateful for the visual, and your fantastic way of presenting.
Thank you Christine! If you have used the Stamp-a-ma-jig, it is the same principal. I have used this piece of plastic so many times already, it has proved to be sooo handy! And thanks for the feedback on the video, I really struggle with them, so it is lovely to know that they are watchable! 😉 xx
Every now and then someone comes up with an idea and you think……..wow! That’s ssoo cool and blooming useful. Thank you for sharing.
lol … thank you … it is a great technique for a procrastinator like me who can never quite decide where to put that image. Usually I make a decision and then stamp it crooked anyway. I have no excuses now! 🙂 xxx
Apart from the fact that your card is just super cool, the Imaging Sheet tip is priceless and an answer to many prayers! You are amazing Cheryll ♥
lol … thanks so much Paula. I am really loving that I will never have an out of kilter greeting right at the end of a card project ever again! Yaaay! Thanks for stopping by. As always a pleasure and honour to be hopping with you! xxx
